Our Heavy Duty Hay Tarps protect your hay bales from the weather elements such as rain, wind and snow. These tarps are silver on top to reflect the harmful UV rays and black on the inside to absorb the heat. Each hay tarp is re-enforced on the hems with poly rope. The tarp's heavy duty construction ensures it will last through harsh weather conditions. In order to get maximum life out of your tarps please ensure proper tied down. Tarps should be tied down securely over the hay bales and not left flapping in the wind.
